Did Gez Liddell commit to play with Coxy?
looking at the transfer last week g.liddell cleared from barooga to kyneton and rattrays clearance has been rejected by barooga???????

[Goalsquare Clapper]

With the CAFL 2008 season fast approaching,talk is rife of gun recruits signed,gruelling pre seasons completed and which teams are challenging for premiership favourtism.Plenty of unknowns in there.During an illustrious football career,GC has played many matchwinning roles on some fine arenas,and finds it hard to say which was the best. What i do know is my opinions of all the footy venues in FNQ.......so here it is.
Watsons Oval.North Cairns
A rather unremarkable oval that is neither good or bad.It seems this venue lacks atmosphere,and this combined with the tigers fortunes of late paints a bleak picture.Makeshift grandstand in the pocket is good for away supporters,whilst the clubhouse did a good job serving GC ice cold beer one evening recently.I must say though,that it seemed the stereotypical north supporter would be more appreciative if the bar was filled with more woodstock tall bourbon cans.Cant comment on the tuck shop offerings as i was too keen to get to shenannigans for beer,babes and burgers.5/10


Centrals Trinity Beach.
The first thing that strikes you about this ground is its immense size...the far forward pocket is in a different postcode.Many a CAFL coachs well laid plans have come undone by teams taking the longest route to goal.This combined with the bulldogs trademark tenaciousness makes wins here well earned.Goalsquare clapper could also imagine the dogs having some great post game revelry in their impressive social club,plenty of bars, memorabilia and pokies.Have heard some very positive feedback on the parma and chips,on which some elderly patrons nearly choked on last year when a streaker graced the field during a game.6/10

Cazalys.
The first time i had the pleasure of strolling over the manicured surface of Cazalys,my comrade said that my face had turned pale.I merely explained that was due to an abundance of blood rushing to my nether regions,such was my delight in the condition of the grass.Ahh,finally a soft landing for my 2-3 hangers each time i played here.Without doubt an absolute honour to run out onto this ground,with the old carrara grandstand and awesome social club completing the picture.Although finals here are generally wind affected,it still doesnt detract from what is simply a brilliant venue.Also,after trying some of the bbq fare being cooked by a hawks stalwart in the grandstand,The Clapper was left in no doubt about how and why Jamie Scrymgours thighs are so large. 10/10

Port Douglas.
Im sure many an unfocused footballer has been distracted looking for white pointers on the various beaches on the way to croc territory.Upon arriving at the ground,one is met by a social clubhouse that wouldnt look out of place in the film "Caddyshack".A perfect sized arena that also comes with large crowds of vocal supporters,the croc pit can be a fairly tough venue to take 4 points back down the cook highway.Cars parked all around the embankments around the ground add to the atmosphere to footy games in this tourist town.Rumours also abound that some of the best hot dogs north of townsvile are sold at the canteen here.8/10

South Cairns.

The cutters have a well sized ground with good grass cover,although at one end it seems you are looking up quite a steep hill.Situated in the southern 'burbs of cairns,it has good facilities but literally no warm up area.Goals also seem easier to come by at the social club end,which has a rather large smattering of supporters in red and white shirts.Unfortunately,every time Goalsquare Clapper has attended fixtures here,the football has been accompanied by mindless rantings from the drunken members of the red and white army in the terraces,regardless of the scoreboard.Did i hear a banjo playing in the background......As yet i havent sampled any of the cutters tuck shop options,perhaps this year 7/10

Holloways beach
Halfway through my healthily salted bucket of chips in the scaffold grandstand down at snakeland,my enjoyment of the game (and my spilt diet coke)was rudely interupted by virgin flight dj 647 flying what seemed like 30 metres above my head.Apart from being in this direct flight path, the home of the cobras is quite a good oval.Perfect length, rather wide,good grass and social club on the wing are all pluses.One would imagine that after a good win ,the xxxx gold would flow into the wee hours on the lawn area in front of the club.8/10

Cairns saints

Perhaps the smallest ground in the CAFL,this oval sometimes has average grass cover.Commission type houses at one end and construction site at the other doesnt do much for the look either.All this makes it even harder to snatch a win against the perennially strong saints.Although somewhat critical of this venue,its still not a bad ground to play at.Also have to comment that when i wasnt witnessing some Matt Walsh acrobatics, i saw some of the most attractive female canteen attendants ive ever seen work here.These lasses were of such a standard that Goalsquare Clapper was observed one day hovering around the kiosk,ordering one dimmy with soya sauce on 9 different occasions.6/10
Well there it is,criticise,congratulate or concur.
And if none of those,just bring on the footy!!

[Simon the Pieman]

can anybody tell me the name of that big gumby playing for norths that wears the black wrist bands, he needs to learn how to play, was playing ruck in the pre season cup

[Mr_X]

pieman is a god name, word has it u dont mind the occasional pie.....or 20

Did Gez Liddell commit to play with Coxy?

Gez Liddell was really not welcome back at Seymour ,[ and i have heard to diffrent stories to why] so after not being welcome back to Barooga either he is now building his brothers house near Bendigo , and will play with his brother until the house is built. Then I was told he is going to head up and play with Coxy at Port Douglas. Im hearing that this little pony seems to up set people where ever he plays .

[raidrboy]

Cairns Cobras have picked up a guy named Grant Corcoran from Wodonga Raiders. He is a very good player who has played most of his games for us in the back half, can also play forward. If one of you guys could give me a report on how he goes that would be appreciated.

Great review. I reckon Holloways Beach is the best venue. Great ground and facilities and usually you beat them. South Cairns would be the worst. It always rains there. Cold and wet.

How can u say Holloways is the best , it is a dust bowl all year , Griffith Park is a better ground and that is cr-p what with the pot holes ( will give them this , top tucker ), even Watson oval pees all over it and that has a dead pocket ,

for atmosphere really , no one can go pass the Croc's home , when those boyz are in fine tune well look out all comers , toooo bad the cheer squad don't travel

I was at a 21st in Barooga last year and watched one of Liddel's team mates smash his ( Liddel ) head into a poker machine. I have never heard one person at the Barooga footy club say good things about him.

obviously you are in the sledging mood today,if that is the case,you've made a complete and utter ''GOOSE'' of yourself by stating that you have about 5 alias's and then replying to your own quote's''ONE BEGINS TO WONDER''why...to many CHEECH and CHONGS one would think.

Now that we've got that out of our system guys.... This weekends games should be rippers. Souths should defeat the Bulldogs at Fretwell(Both A's and reserves) and I reckon Saints will beat the Hawks at Cazza's.:)

Having two bob either way are we ?????? No fence sitting allowed cough up who will take the points in your view

for mine Souths boyz from what I hear are travelling good enough to snatch a win in a close one

waterboyz always have their ears to the ground :rolleyes:

[ace10]

Geez I've heard the Cairns Saints have recruited very well along with South Cairns. Surely those 2 teams would have to be favourites. Saints apparently have a fella called Eagle from Mildura, kicked 90 goals in Sunraysia league last year...an absolute gun...can anyone confirm that??

Water boys, strappers, runners and all the hard workers behind the scene should get more of a mention. Without these hard working volunteers any team would be alot worse off. Onya Guys.... Souths by 4 goals in both grades....;)

[fromthebackline]

Souths by 54pts
Nths by 21 pts
Saints/Hawks draw, with a massive controversy with Saints kicking a goal well after the siren. The Hawks faithful go mad, screaming for heads and stuff. The feel cheated and they are. Hawks lodge protest only to be denied during the week at a special hearing. Verdict "As the umpires did not signal that the game was over, the siren means nothing, the game is not over until it is signalled by the umpires, therefore the score will stand and the match is declared a draw." The shattered Hawks re group for their next encounter, which you wouldn't like to be playing against them the following week.

Anyway that's football.:thumbsu:

Very interesting summary Backline but please dont get the umpy's off side this early in the season . But for mine would love to see some good old fashion footy between these two plenty of hard hip and shoulders and running at each other taking NO prisoners hurting the cr-p out of each other :eek:

[tamba]

What a game those Souths boyz had 22 18 150 - 12 8 80 they were good , saw Saints coach in the crowd checking them out , the new bar looking good as well , will enjoy my travels there through out the season as I go a wandering around the grounds sampling the tucker and amber liquid. :thumbsu:

I hope you were all there to see the Donk have a blinder on Saturday in the ressies. He is fast becoming a cult figure down at Fretwell.

I watched the Eagle soaring above packs, kicking goals, class act. I must say though the Eagle was playing against sparrows not Hawks, not a very even contest. In fairness to Manunda they had many players out and some others to come in, so I'm told and I hope this is the case because if they haven't they are gone already. Knowing the boys at Manunda they will have many to come in. Don't be fools and right them off, they will bounce back. One game doesn't make a season. Having said that, gee Saints looked good. New jumpers new recruits they have it all just like boogey and bacall starring in their own late late show. They will face a much stiffer opposition this week but they will still be the ones to beat. Wasn't it great to see Norths have their first win in over a year, well done fellows. Looks like we are in for a great season in Cairns. Can't wait for next week. Bring it on.

Hi Escherichia24, good to see you back on the Big Footy, Don't know about the blinder or the cult figure biz, but I certainly was kept busy on Saturday in the ressies. Guess I was way wrong with my Cutters beating the Dogs at Fretwell in ressies prediction... we got our butts kick.... DOH!

Yeah saw the game. North were good, not outstanding. Played some kids and did well. Cobras were not a full strength I'm told there are several to come back in. Both sides will not be a threat this year but it was good to see Norths finally win won.

Can anybody tell me if Big Darryl "The German" TAYLOR is going around again for The Crocs? Is it true he had leading role in the movie "Fools Gold" And is it true he has opened up a 24 hour "Red Rooster" where Mango Jam use to be??:D

still playing

[shootist]

Interesting round this week. Hawks in all sorts if they loose this week and I think Norths to win by 24 pts.

Cutters travelling well and to have a big win by 88 pts over the Cobras.

Saints will be smarting over last weeks loss and even though they play at port, Saints to win by 31 pts.:p

Saints are always a chance to be in the finals, but we're a fair way off yet.... Most of the sides up here have picked up new talent from down south, some of them get home sick, some don't like the heat.. time will tell.
As for Eagle, he's doing alright, but one man does not an AFL team make.

Yeah what the Cat said... takes 18 players to make up an AFL team.... I didn't get to see the match but I'll be keeping an eye out for this Eagle dude.....

[shootist]

Yeah Eagle can play. Did very well the first week but played on a kid. Last week was beaten comfortably by his opponent. Will get better as he settles in. saints are a good side and just had an off day. Their coach and his staff are very astute and will be much better as the season wears on.;)

Hey Donk, we knew what you meant about 18 on the field. Anyway what's your predications this weekend, winners and margins please. Remember you are the guru.:thumbsu:

Thanks mate, don't know about the guru bit but I like the way your thinking. For what its worth my prediction for this weekend is

Seniors - Saints to defeat Port by 5 goals
Cutters to defeat Cobras by 12 goals
Norths to defeat Hawks by 2 goals
Reserves- Saints to defeat Port by 8 goals
Cutters to defeat Cobras by 4 goals
Hawks to defeat Norths by 5 goals

Had to put in the reserves... they are people too!:)

[shootist]

Tell you what Donk, your predictions were very close, the only one that got away was the margin re cutters senior and reserve grade. As you are the Guru can you give me the winner of the 5th in Melbourne this Saturday? :thumbsu:

[Truck]

How are to Boys from Wyche going up there with the saints???

[The Donk]

Yeah sorry about the margins, will have to re-calibrate the crystal ball.
The Cobra's Senior side had a few players out so apparently had to steal six from their reservers.... Lets hope that they get them back soon.:)
Cheers

What happened to Port Douglas on the weekend . Did there big recruits play Smith and Shaw ?

I heard cutters had a few out on the weekend also, but you can only go with what you've got hey donk. Saw you star at full back on sat then miss an absolute sitter when moved forward, back to the backline for you.

What can I say.... I was only up forward for 10minutes, took good grab about 25 metres out on a 45 angle and kicked a point.... Doh! Man I was just happy to be there....:p Saw the Live Bait in the seniors come charging through the centre... tell us what happened?

i wouldnt think 18 points was an easy win, by all acconts the game was close all day . can anyone else who was at the game let us know what they thought, standard of game etc.

[The Donk]

What was that Little Fretwell? ... you took it on the chest 5 metres out in the square and hit the post? No wonder you had to give the footy away.... Makes me feel better already:D

[Maxy5]

Standard of the game was very good. Saints backmen shut down Port's big fella's and the Saints onball brigade of Hose, Dwyer and Coatsworth ran all over them. Eagle's injury didn't affect the Saints too much with Walsh, Turner and Noonan finishing off their hard work. Port looked okay though and got in touch by a goal midway through the last quarter. A tough, hard fought game.

Probably on my way to the bench, that would be the only time I storm through the centre.

North Cairns and the South Cairns Cutters play this friday 25/4/2008 in the inaugural Anzac Cup clash, which should be an absolute cracker.
Both senior teams are undefeated so we should see some good competitive footy.
Reserves kick off at 1.30pm and seniors at 3.30pm.
Both games will have the traditional Anzac ceremonies.
Come along and support both of these clubs.:)
